[Sasuke has one knee up against the creature's barrel chest, keeping a vicious mouthful of teeth at bay from his throat, seconds from activating the Mangekyou as needed to defend himself — when suddenly the weight is gone from his body and he's looking up at a piece of the sky through a ruinous, domed ceiling. It only lasts another split moment, because there's a claw hand pinning him back down and Naruto is above him.
A pair of blazing, animalistic eyes stare into his own. He doesn't feel fear, but there is alarm threaded through his own clear-headed state of reactive adrenaline, because Naruto has transformed. He's slipped, somehow, in the grasp of the Nine Tailed's chakra, and that isn't supposed to happen. Naruto has control over the bijū. Why is he reacting like this?
He watches his friend race away, and he has no choice but to engage the remaining beast. Now prepared, it takes only a ricochet of lightning run like a wire on the ground between them to put it down screaming in unintelligible agony. He's forced to use his right arm — manageable enough against this foe, but he'll have to keep practicing his technique.
The chapel falls into an eerie quiet. He hunts for Naruto's chakra signature, gauging their distance, whether he'll need help.]
